TBF Nerd is back with a month long series of trivia inspired workouts. It starts Thursday, September 15 and will run for 4 weeks. Here are the details...

Each week will consist of a different decade of pop culture trivia, starting with the 2010s

Workouts will be held during Recess on all non-Varsity Thursday classes; sign up for a class titled 'TBF Nerd'

Events will be partner-based and you may choose anyone in your class, male or female, regardless of whether or not they are participating in the contest. You can have different partners each week

After every Thursday, you will be ranked by number of correct answers, amongst all participants that day

No sign-up or entry fees required; anyone signed up for a class on the schedule called 'TBF Nerd' will be included

We'll have one grand prize winner that will be awarded a $75 Amazon gift card and a $75 credit to be used for Throwback classes. Second place will receive a Fruit Roll-Up and all other participants will get a noogie.

We're also running a promo in conjunction with TBF Nerd. Enter code 'TBFNerd' at checkout in our MindBody site to get 20% off any class package (does not apply to intro rates and unlimited memberships).

FAQQ: Do strong rowers have an advantage?A: No, TBF Nerd will include no rowing. More importantly, contestants with knowledge of music and pop culture will have an advantage.

Q: I don't consider myself a nerd. Is this contest for me?A: Yes.

Q: What if I cannot make one or two of the workouts?A: We'll be running TBF Nerd workouts on Thursdays initially, so hopefully you can find a time that works for you. But if not, TBF Nerd lasts several weeks so there is still a good chance you can place well even if you cannot attend every class. If we need to expand, we may include a Wednesday or Friday TBF Nerd workout.

Q: Can I attend multiple TBF Nerd classes and take my best performance for the day?A: No.

Q: Why are there no sign ups?A: This is to ensure any potential contestants don't act like jabronis and refuse to sign up because they're worried they'll miss a workout or two. As long as you make it to class, you'll be ranked in the competition.

Throwback

Throwback is gamifying fitness by harnessing the feelings of accomplishment, confidence, and camaraderie that come from being part of a team, and the excitement felt when working together to achieve a common goal.

Our workouts channel the nostalgia of adolescence by modeling our unique, competitive, partner- and team-based workouts after such childhood favorites as Tag and Capture the Flag, or even dorm room-inspired games like Flip Cup.
